Cradle Of Filth, alright.

Capital Black, Blackgurad, meh. Gamma Ray, bigger meh.

You can google Malevolent Creation and racist to see some of the wonderful things those assholes think.

That would be nice, and would definitely fit!

There is no Chance to go to any Festival in Europe without Beyond the Black. Must have a very professional Management.....
they will play 4 times on the Full Metal Cruise III......

Edit: Band probably starts with "Black" given it's in caps. Damn.

YES! YES! YES! Borknagar would more than fulfill my black metal quota

by **Laura** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 1:51 pm

I haven't listen to CoF in quite a while, but I did dig them quite a bit years ago and loved the one gig I attended back in fall of 2008 (gaaaah - can't believe that was nearly 7 years ago!!

) - a great triple bill tour of Cradle of Filth, Satyricon (first time of many times seeing them - immediately fell in love

) and Septicflesh. http://www.metalinjection.net/tour-date ... epticflesh

I'm not going on 70K 2016, but I'd check 'em out for sure if I was. Haha - just rewatched this video of Nymphetamine (it had been a while) - one of my very favorite songs & videos (largely due to the presence of the gorgeous Liv

)

For those who suggest Borknagar - indeed - brilliant band who I was thrilled to see as well several years ago at Wacken.

Black Flag w/Rollins

by **Sgt. B** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 2:05 pm

Hoping the "Black" clue is Black Breath.

by **UltimoAviso** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 2:10 pm

Black Messiah maybeh

I just noticed you're from South Tahoe.

Do you know the CADM-ers?

by **acidbasement** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 2:16 pm

Gamma Ray will never tour near me, so I am fucking ecstatic about that clue. May it bear fruit.
CoF seem interesting, I may catch a set.

Now how about some medievals from Germany?

by **Pellaz** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 2:18 pm

I'd be pretty happy with Black Crown Initiate, but I suspect it will be Blackguard instead.
--Which is fine; they were a lot of fun at ProgPower USA when they played...made them quite a few new friends, too.

Website · by **doomguy** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 2:31 pm

Borknagar would be a solid 2 setter for me. Saw them at MetalDays last year and other than My Dying Bride they were the highlight of the festival.

Oh shit, I didn't even think of Black Crown Initiate, I would be cool with them getting on.

Ditto!

by **SaraMarie** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 2:45 pm

I'll take Black Breath or Black Crown Initiate. I've seen the latter, they are good live though.

Cradle of Filth was one of the first metal bands I listened to, so it will be interesting to see, I guess. Not as exciting as my first metal love, Amorphis, but I had a great time listening to them and laughing my ass off back in high school. Bonus points for making my dad threaten to throw their CDs in the wood stove, ha.

Always LOVED that song, but damn it sounds disturbingly similar to Where The Wild Roses Grow

Black Fate would rule!!!

cof... worst announcement ever

but, since I'm planning not to go... cool beans

by **Hoppy McGee** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 4:05 pm

I'll take Black Crown Initiate.....or how about Aurora Black?

by **meshuggah** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 5:25 pm

I've seen them a bunch of times, but Black Anvil would be fun to have along! Are they a big enough name for Andy?

by **Andy** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 5:31 pm

Please welcome AURA NOIR onbroad 70000TONS OF METAL 2016, The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise!

Still some black clouds blowing in from Austria... will this ugliness finally break as we head for tomorrow?

by **Madkill** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 5:40 pm

Belphegor ... Gamma Ray.

by **cowboy71** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 5:45 pm

Aura Noir never heard or, Belphegor not my cup of tea, but Gamma Ray would be another 10/10 announcement for me!

by **Razor Ramon** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 5:47 pm

Aura Noir, meh.

Might walk by to see how they play..

by **Warphine** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 5:56 pm

Hell yeah Aura Noir!!

I caught their set at MDF even though I had to miss Nekrofilth to do so. Had I known they were on the boat, I would have watched Nekrofilth instead. It's all good though they were great.

by **ShoreSlayer** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 6:00 pm

2.5 out of 26 and only 1 of those is really close to a fave!

Keep up the great work Skip!!!

by **Jimbo2392** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 6:06 pm

Once again another band I was jealous MDF got but were getting on broad! Hell yea! In that case can we also get Triptykon, Primordial, & Bulldozer please! Or any other headliner would do nicely...

by **Madkill** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 6:34 pm

Primordial played THE set of the weekend at MDF. I still can't get over how amazing they were.

Website · by **Azazel101** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 7:03 pm

At least we are getting some non-repeats

by **SaraMarie** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 7:52 pm

Madkill wrote:Primordial played THE set of the weekend at MDF. I still can't get over how amazing they were.

I'd like to argue that distinction goes to DRI, who played I think about a hundred songs.

Man, whatever, black metal is okay, but can we have some thrash now?

Someone above mentioned Belphegor... I like them, I am seeing them this fall in the States though.

by **cowboy71** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 8:08 pm

SaraMarie wrote:Man, whatever, black metal is okay, but can we have some thrash now?

By my count, the genre breakdown so far (assuming that Belphegor and Gamma Ray are the next two announcements) will be:

28 bands:
7 Black metal
6 Power Metal
4 Female Fronted 'girlie metal'
3 melodeath
2 Doom
2 Folk
2 Thrash
1 Technical Death
1 Viking

2015 lineup
62 bands
15 Thrash
7 Folk
6 Black
6 Death
4 Melodeath
4 Metalcore
4 Heavy Metal
4 Hard Rock
3 Prog Metal
2 Symphonic metal
2 Power Metal
1 Techdeath
1 Stoner
1 Doom
1 Pirate
1 Grind

These are really broad classifications so no "how do you get that figure? Oh no X aren't Y Metal they are more Z metal!" etc

Aura Noir is thrash. I consider them blackened thrash metal.

Apparently I have found quite a few non-European festivals in the Nordics, the Netherlands and Germany then.

by **bodomdragon** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 10:39 pm

Second clue pointing to Gamma Ray. Fuck yes! For us power metal fans this first half of the lineup is legen-fucking-dary.

by **Memnoch** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 10:58 pm

I think the last (well, the only) time I've seen Gamma Ray live was at Tuska 2000. I might want to hold on to that memory and not see them onbroad.

Belphegor would be a fine addition.

If Cradle of Filth plays a Dusk and Her Embrace 20th anniversary set, I'll go see them, otherwise I'll try and find something better to do. And with me being a thrash hater, Aura Noir is a solid zero-setter.

Indeed. I like plenty of black metal, but can't stand Aura Noir.

Primordial also has the distinction of performing THE most intense set in the history of ProgPower USA, per Glenn H. himself.
I was in front of the barricade in the photo pit and I was getting droplets of...something...splashed into my awe-struck, upturned face from Alan Averill. Blood? Sweat? Corpsepaint? All three? I didn't care, it was magical.

My cruise-mate Derek and I would LOVE to see 'em on the boat.

by **bodomdragon** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 11:25 pm

I still wonder what all the "ugly" clues are all about. For some reason I can't stop thinking of Finntroll.
